Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Stomach ulcers are usually caused by Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) bacteria or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). These can break down the stomach’s defence against the acid it produces to digest food. The stomach lining then becomes damaged causing an ulcer to form.

Detailed explanation-2: -Most ulcers occur in the first layer of the inner lining. A hole in the stomach or duodenum is called a perforation. This is a medical emergency. The most common cause of ulcers is infection of the stomach by bacteria called Helicobacter pylori (H pylori).

Detailed explanation-3: -Carbenoxolone, sucralfate, and tri-potassium dicitrato bismuthate have been shown to accelerate healing of ulcers without appreciable acid inhibition. Despite an apparently different mode of action, the healing rates are similar to those of commonly used acid inhibitors.
